This painting ended up taking me a lot longer to paint than I thought it would.  However, the subject matter matched my new goal of having many layers to see through in my paintings.  I got the idea for this one when I went to go visit a family friend in Orlando last summer.  She has a whole family of peacocks that live in her cul-de-sac.  So of course I had to take pictures of this pretty boy strutting his stuff for the girls, and then try to capture him in paint.  

In other news, now would be a great time to buy a painting!  My family would surely appreciate your support.

"A  painting lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes
of the sensitive observer.  It dies by the same token.  It is therefore a
risky & unfeeling act to send it out into the world."
